Norpro 1047 Pasta Machine Motor Attachment (Pasta Machine Sold Separately), One Size, White

Works great with Mercator atlas pasta maker! Just take your time mating it to the little holder pins on the maker so that the two are solid together. The first time I set it up I just pushed it in without locking it and it wasn’t safe. The pins are really tight and I sanded and oiled them so as to fit together easily. Slow speed is perfect and adds much to the fun of making pasta! A great addition to my pasta making hobby. I would buy it again!

I was going to buy the expensive Atlas brand motor, but my husband talked me into buying this. I'm sure glad I did, does the job and saved money!It has a cheapy plastic casing, but has a heavy duty power cord, a strong motor and speed control, pulse buttons. Handled the tough pasta dough with no problems!The only issue I had with the machine is when using an attachment the handle won't clear the motor, see photo. I have a ravioli attachment and make lots of ravioli to freeze. So to make my life easier I had my husband make an extended handle from an old machine. That way I can make ravioli without removing the motor.I made ravioli all day and my back doesn't hurt from cranking and hunching. Great purchase!

We got tired of having the clamp on our manual pasta maker slip all over the place when we were using it, requiring a two-person operation to make pasta -- one to turn the crank and hold the pasta maker in place and the other to feed the dough.The spindle of this motor fits fine in our pasta maker, but it doesn't have the key slots that would hold the motor in place. So I made a simple jig out of wood that keeps the motor and pasta maker in place (see pics). This works fine -- pasta making is now a speedy one-person operation with no need to clamp anything down.The motor itself is moderately noisy, similar to a motor on a BBQ rotisserie. We don't find this to be a nuisance. It has performed admirably for a couple of pasta making sessions -- long-term durability remains to be seen.

Work ok but no written manual, we could not attached to the pasta maker and run it have to have 2 persons: one to hold he machine and one to run the dough thru. The machine is a good design but have to sell together with pasta maker. I will return it.

I really recommend people that work with Clay to purchase one of these.

I got this thinking it looks nearly identical to another brand's motor for the tomato press that I have. However, as has been stated elsewhere, this unit is definitely brand-specific. While it was 95% the same as the other, the mounting methods were not compatible, as this one uses T-pins to lock on, whereas the one I needed has a separate bracket.So if you have the machines listed, should be good to go. The motor has good torque and should work well. It just wasn't suited for my setup. Returned it with no issues.

I use this to process my pasta machine for polymer clay earrings and it was game changing for me. Good investment if you don't want to reel with your hand. All you do is press a button and it goes. It is loud, so be aware of it!

I bought this motor to use on my Atlas 150 pasta machine by Marcato. It works very well & I was happy to get a motor for way less than the Marcato motor. Worth the money & says quite a bit of time when conditioning clay. Yes, it's noisy but they all are. Your blender is noisy too! You will love the ease of this motor when trying to condition clay!
